Hey ladies and gentlemen, in light of the talk about proposed land closures in the south Saskatchewan region I have sent the following letter to the minister of environment this afternoon. Feel free to give it a read and let me know what you think (agreements, disagreements, further...

So I've been trying to unload my 2011 summit sp for a while now. Asking 10k for it which might be a bit high but the thing only had 140km on it, two years of warranty left and is honestly mint. Some clown e-mails me this morning saying he can get a 2013 etec for 9000 so I need to come way down...

Today you get to say I told you so. Picked this rig up today, traded the rhino for it straight-across!

So I'm weighing my options for a new sxs, listing pros and cons of all the current offerings, and as much as I hate to say it, I keep coming back to the RZR S. So I have two questions. First, is it worth chucking down the extra 1800 for the Fox shocks and fancy graphics on the LE model (riding...

Hey guys. I'm trying to shake down a hard starting skandic 440 fan. She's a bitch to start cold but once warmed up it seems to run and start just fine. It likes to die when engaging the rer as well...it works maybe one in 5 times. Cleaned the carb, new plugs, clean air filter = no change. I'm...

So here's today's story. I had plans for a sled ride with the wife but when she woke up sick this morning I had to find something else to do today. Since I had no one to sled with I figured I would be safe and take in a half day of skiing at powder king instead. The day went great until I left...

Hey guys, I've had my new xp sitting in the shop for a couple weeks now, and today I noticed a small puddle of injection oil under the machine. It's dripping from the left side at the rear of the skid plate. Can't seem to see where the leak is exactly. Not sure how long its been dripping but I...

All this talk (and photos) of bent up XPs has me a bit concerned gents. I know everyone goes by the "don't hit anything and you'll be fine" mantra but riding in powder snow you never know right? I did a little peeking around and saw a couple products that might provide a little peace of mind...

A friend of mine reminded me that today marks three years since a pair of avalanches claimed 8 of our fellow sledders from the small town of Sparwood. Don't forget that these guys were sledding in an area they knew very well, and all of them were carrying the proper rescue/safety equipment...

Just as a fun discussion, I figured I would ask: what would you ask the engineers at BRP/Polaris/Cat/Yamaha to fix/change on your sled if you had the chance? I'm not talking about what kind of sled you want them to make, more like what annoying little quirks you would like ironed out. After...

Hey guys, I was hoping I could dip into the collective wealth of knowledge on here and ask a few questions about front-end geometry. I was adjusting the steering on one of our work sleds today and was curious about how toe angle, camber and caster will affect the handling of a sled? What setups...

Hey guys, just picked up my new XP (800 Ptek) this weekend and I wanted to know if you Doo guru's have any particular things you like to do to a new one before riding it. Any bolts that like to come loose? Things that need to be greased? Unneeded parts/panels that can come off? I know what to...

The time is here finally. After much thought and searching for the right sled/deal I dropped some money down on my first sled. Settled on a 2011 Summit SP (ptek) w/e-start from Martin Motorsports in Edmonton. I know I like the xp chassis from riding our new Expeditions at work, I can only...

Hey guys, it's sled shopping time for me and after much deliberation I've come to realize that a new summit is the sled I want. My only hang-up is, I like the idea of the E-Tec engine (lighter throttle pull, less stink and less oil consumption), but sticker on a new SP is around 13,000, whereas...

Hey guys, I was out on a job yesterday and we came across a quad that had been burned to the ground, left in the middle of the trail. I'm not sure if it was stolen and lit up after they were done with it or it accidentally caught fire and the owner couldnt be bothered to clean up the mess...

Well just the other day I got to thinking that maybe I was wrong about Polaris' after seeing my buddy's new RZR S in action on a trail ride. I was seriously thinking about putting my Rhino up for sale and picking one up for myself, until today that is. We were running our machines at work on a...

Just taking a look at Yamaha Canada's website tonight and noticed the 2012's are out. No mechanical changes that I noticed but what did catch my eye was a 1500-2000 dollar price drop across the board! Looks like someone has finally realized that our dollar is stronger than the US and is gonna...

Hey guys, I'm doing some work on an '05 Outlander 400 and have hit a bit of a wall. It has a very bad idle hang and I've tried the simple fixes (check for air leaks, clean carb, adjust the pilot screw) but I've had no luck eliminating or even improving it. I think the next thing I have to try is...

Well seeing as how the winter is dying a very slow death I figured it would be a good time for everyone to put up some pics that make us wanna ride!! Here's a few of my favorite ones:

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask a question simply out of mechanical curiosity. I've got my mind set on buying a new nytro in the spring or next fall. I'm relatively new to the sled world living in northern BC but grew up in southern ab where the snow never stuck around long enough to need a...
